ARTIST STATEMENT
My truest passion is painting people. Every face holds a lifetime of memories that make us who and what we are. Memories that I recreate with every line I paint.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is about a personal exploration of the subject and the materials used to create the work. Regardless of whether the subject is something as mundane as a toothbrush or as awe inspiring as the beauty of nature, it has to speak to me in some way. I have to feel an empathy towards the subject and desire to form a relationship with it, as inevitably I am affected by the feeling or mood of the subject. My paintings evolve organically from life's everyday glances.

YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU SEE

by Augusto Bordelois

How does anyone claim to know who you are? How may people have ever used their five senses to figure it out? How deep can one see in your soul? Isn't preconception the same old game everybody keeps on playing and losing since the beginning of time?
A few disappointments here, a few prejudices there, a lot of misunderstanding everywhere have made me aware of the image of your presence in the back of my head, and what I see is just a twisted reflection of my own life.
If I looked at the clothes you wear, the trophies you have won, your business card, the color of your skin, the thickness of your blood, your family album; if I listened to what you say that you are, the things you have done, the accent in your voice, the storms you have survived, the challenges you will face; if I smelled the perfume you just bought, the sweat in your clothes, your cat litter box, the food in your plate, your breath in the morning; if I touched your cold feet in winter, your wet hair in summer, your personal diary, your warm side in bed, your heart with a secret; and if I tasted the sweat on your neck, the dust under your nails, your overcooked dinner, your favorite drink, and your lipstick in my lips, then I'll be convinced that I know who you are, though I might be wrong.
